❗️Peskov on Putin's decision to extend the moratorium on energy strikes :
The moratorium, in fact, was not observed by the Ukrainian side. Therefore, of course, it will be necessary to analyze these 30 days. To exchange, probably, information and considerations with the Americans.
Information that the Ukrainians did not adhere to the moratorium was constantly reported. And then the supreme commander, the president will make a decision.

❗️ABC NEWS: A potential diplomatic stand-off is emerging over Russia's next diplomatic appointment to Australia after the previous ambassador quietly departed over a week ago.
The ABC can reveal Dr Alexey Pavlovsky concluded his posting to Canberra on April 5 and flew out of the country, leaving Chargé d'Affaires Ms Yulia Gromyko as the Russian embassy's most senior diplomat.
Ambassador Pavlovsky began his posting to Canberra in 2019 and had been the federal government's main point of contact as it works to secure the release of Australian prisoner Oscar Jenkins, who was captured by Russia last year fighting for Ukraine.
A figure with knowledge of the Russian ambassador's departure claims the name of President Putin's proposed replacement has been given to the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) but it is yet to be approved.
DFAT has not responded to questions about when it was first told of Ambassador Pavlovsky's departure, but under caretaker conventions requests for "agrément" to confirm new Heads of Mission cannot be made during an election campaign.
Alexey Pavlovsky has been Russia's longest serving ambassador to Australia since the collapse of the Soviet Union, but an embassy spokesperson told the ABC it would not comment on his departure or replacement, saying "as per the usual practice, such matters are kept confidential".
Members of Canberra's diplomatic corps have told the ABC that since Russia's SMO in Ukraine began in 2022, Ambassador Pavlovsky has been shunned from most other embassy events and has instead dealt mainly with Russia's diaspora community.

❗️A Third of U.S. Companies Lose Right to Buy Back Assets Sold in Russia
According to Robert Agee, President of the American Chamber of Commerce in Russia, about one-third of U.S. companies that exited the Russian market since 2022 have lost the right to repurchase their former assets.
In an interview with Expert magazine, Agee explained that many firms initially secured call options—agreements allowing them to buy back sold assets within a set period.
👉 But a significant number of those options have already expired.
🔻 What changed?
In 2022, repurchase windows could be as long as 5 years.
By 2023, that shrank to 3 years.
Now, companies are reportedly no longer able to obtain such rights at all.
⚠️ Adding to the uncertainty, there's an ongoing debate in Russia about whether existing (but still valid) options should be honored at all.
🇷🇺 President Putin has emphasized that Western companies returning to Russia will get no special treatment—any comeback must happen on a competitive, market-driven basis.
